Message In Bottle Traveled Over 1,000 Miles

A 12-year-old boy in Bermuda says he's found a message in a bottle that's traveled more than one-thousand miles in four years. Joseph Vallis was participating in a beach cleanup project this weekend when he discovered the bottle in a pile of trash. The boy's father helped him open the bottle and decipher the writing on the note inside with a black light. The message said the bottle had been dropped from a French sailing yacht in April of 2014. The authors of the note included an email address for the finders to reach them at.
